Art on display will include a combined painting and embroidery piece by Year 12 student Keren Corbel that won one of five “highly commended” awards at the St George’s Art Awards Night in July.
Visitors can see mock trials, science workshops, virtual reality experiences and the school’s robotics league at the showcase.
The event will also feature the Cluster Cup, an annual competition including four teams of Year 5 students from the cluster primary schools who take on science, technology, engineering and maths challenges.
“We are excited to hold our first complete showcase of student work across the college from all disciplines,” principal Kylie Bottcher said.
“This event allows students the opportunity to share with the wider community key projects and other aspects that they have been working on throughout the 2019 year.
“This year we have decided to combine the showcase with our annual art collective exhibition and hope that parents and the wider will join us at this end of year celebration.”
